I’m Here to End This Fight - Chapter 395



Only Noblemtl

Episode 395. The Belgrade War (10)

Arin and Poppy looked embarrassed as they remembered the past events at the sight of Theresia holding onto the glass and shedding tears.

It was none other than Yuri who held onto the glass and cried so loudly.

Thinking back now, it was nothing short of crazy.

Because they both thought the same thing.

‘Senior, you’ll regret it later too.’

‘hungry.’

Maybe you’ll lie in bed and think about today and get excited?

As the two people looked at each other with pitiful eyes, Teresia’s crying subsided.

Sniff-.

Teresia sniffled and moved away from Yuri.

“Are you done crying?”

“… … .”

Teresia’s head slightly bowed at Yuri’s question.

Her ears had turned slightly red.

Gunther, who saw her being embarrassed, intervened at the right time.

“Why are you here, sir? Weren’t you at the Aniston household? It said so in the letter?”

Teresia, who had been adjusting her appearance, opened her mouth in response to Gunther’s question.

“I had some personal matters to attend to. So why are you here? And… … .”

Teresia’s gaze fell on Yuri.

“…What happened to you?”

A question that contains quite a lot of information.

At this, Yuri opened her mouth.

“I know we both have a lot of questions.”

He looked around.

“Let’s resolve the regret later. First, let’s sort out the situation here.”

About twenty people appeared in the place where Yuri’s gaze was directed.

The Sowol mercenary group, realizing that it was time to work again, took up arms.

And this time, Theresia was also among them.

She smiled comfortably for the first time in a long time.

“… It’s been a while.”

Have you ever felt this lighthearted since graduating from the cradle?

It felt like I had thrown off the chains that had been binding me.

My body felt lighter as if a heavy burden had been lifted, but my mind was stronger than ever.

“Yeah, it’s been a long time since we all fought together!”

“hungry!”

“It would have been perfect if there was even a Moochi.”

Ghosts, evil spirits, hungry ghosts, good ghosts.

Five ghosts that held the cradle in their hands.

But before they were called the Five Ghosts, there was a nickname that ruled the cradle… no, that drove the cradle into fear.

The Demon King and the Four Heavenly Kings who reigned north of the cradle.

In fact, it is the predecessor and origin of the Five Ghosts.

They left the cradle of the Demon King’s castle and reunited for the first time in a long time in a faraway land.

and.

“What are you doing? How long are you going to just watch? Go and kill me.”

As always, the Four Heavenly Kings went berserk at the Demon King’s command to attack.

“Yeah, they sent troops to the rear?”

The woman reporting to Aaron Schmidt’s question bowed her head.

“Yes, that’s right. Two hundred troops just left the camp.”

Aaron chuckled at the woman’s report.

“It looks like it’s not all just stupid people.”

The fact that they withdrew their troops must mean that they expected an attack from the rear.

At Aaron’s muttering, the middle-aged woman, the head of the household who had first devised this plan, smiled bitterly.

“But even so, the number of troops was only made up of mercenaries and low-ranking warriors.”

“Hmm… They sent those guys to guard the rear, but they weren’t sure if there would actually be an attack or not, so they sent them out?”

“Perhaps someone with a good head on his shoulders suggested there was an attack from the rear, but the leadership didn’t buy it.”

“That’s stupid. So… do you think the reinforcements they sent will be a variable?”

“Absolutely not. They are already too late. When the reinforcements that have just left arrive at the scene… all they will find are the corpses of their former allies.”

It takes at least two days on horseback from their camp to the rear.

However, the date of operation that the special force had been told to carry out was today.

‘Maybe the operation has begun by now.’

So by the time the enemy reinforcements, who had just set out, arrived at the rear, everything would already be over.

‘If we do well, this will be a good opportunity for the special forces to annihilate their rear support forces that departed today!’

Even if the support force consists of mercenaries and low-ranking warriors, if 200 soldiers die at once and a vacuum is created, the Jicli Alliance will have no choice but to show an opening.

Aaron nodded his head as if satisfied with the middle-aged woman’s explanation.

“Good.”

A coolness settled over Aaron’s expression.

“As soon as we hear good news from the special forces, we go straight in and push those guys back. And… … .”

A light flashed in Aaron’s eyes as his words trailed off.

“We will end this war in one fell swoop and take Belgrade. So be prepared to fight an all-out war at any time.”

“yes!”

At Aaron’s command, the woman bowed her head and left the place.

***

A day after the Giclee Union sent reinforcements to the rear.

Step by step, step by step-.

A man was riding his horse and galloping wildly across the plain.

It seemed as if they had been running for quite some time without stopping, and both the horse and the person were clearly tired.

After that, the speed of the man-horse that ran for a long time gradually slowed down.

“Wow, wow.”

Purruk-!

A rider who stops completely and looks at the forest that appears ahead.

He was none other than the messenger sent by the Giclee Union to the rear units two days ago.

A man who ran without rest to relay information that the enemy’s special forces may attack the rear.

‘If we just get past this forest, we’ll arrive.’

He finally let out a sigh of relief as he reached his destination.

Then he got off the horse and grabbed the reins.

How far into the forest did we walk after that?

“hmm…….”

The messenger’s expression hardened as he let out a small sigh.

He stopped walking and looked around.

‘… Something feels ominous.’

Is it just a feeling?

For some reason I felt like I could smell blood in the forest.

‘The forest seems strangely quiet?’

But the messenger soon shook his head.

‘Nothing bad happened, I guess.’

It was only two days ago that he set out to deliver the news.

I wonder what happened in the meantime.

Also, even if something had happened, it couldn’t have been this quiet.

He tried to shake off his ominousness and grabbed the reins again.

How much longer did it take?

“huh?”

The messenger’s footsteps stopped again.

This time, what stopped him was the sound of footsteps heard nearby.

The sound of brush rustling.

At this, the messenger’s hand reflexively went up to the hilt of his sword.

A moment when he was tense and ready to draw his weapon at any moment.

Push-.

The bushes rustled violently and a black figure appeared.

The messenger who saw this had no choice but to vomit out his flag and immediately draw his sword.

“Lumberjack?!”

The man who emerged from the bushes was wearing the attire of the infamous lumberjack.

It was natural that the messenger’s face turned pale.

‘Oh, is it too late already?’

The sight of lumberjacks here must mean that the rear has been attacked.

No, seeing as the forest was so quiet, the raid might have already ended and the rearguard might have already fallen into the enemy’s hands.

‘Oh, I have to run away!’

If the enemy had taken control of the rear, it would be like walking into a tiger’s den.

The only problem is whether you can escape from the lumberjack in front of you with your own skills.

‘Wait? The lumberjack in front of you?’

The messenger’s expression, which had been flustered and flustered, began to gradually relax.

He realized later that he had been so surprised by the appearance of the lumberjacks that he had not properly observed the things.

‘…Why is the condition like that?’

A body that staggers as if it might collapse at any moment.

He was extremely fragile, walked with a severe limp, and his face was completely bloodless.

‘Oh, it’s coming?!’

The messenger saw the lumberjack walking towards him, gripped his sword tightly and took a small step back.

Even though he didn’t look in good shape, a lumberjack was a lumberjack.

If anything, I had to be ready to run away.

Mumble mumble-.

Whether he knew this or not, the lumberjack just walked slowly towards him.

As he drew closer, the messenger realized that the lumberjack’s condition was even stranger than he had imagined.

‘This, this… mountain… is this a person?’

The lumberjack’s physical condition was terrible.

An abdomen with a large wound that would not be strange if its intestines were to spill out at any time.

Isn’t this more like a walking corpse than a living person?

But what seemed more serious than anything else was his mental state.

Mumble- Mumble-.

He continued to mutter something softly, his eyes as cloudy as a dead fish.

“Ma… deul… … .”

A lumberjack who just walks forward, seemingly unaware that there is someone right next to him.

Thanks to this, the messenger was able to hear in detail what the man, who was no different from a corpse, was muttering.

“You… demons… devils… must… let… me… know… .”

The lumberjack kept repeating ‘devils’ and ‘I have to tell you’.

‘Devil?’

At this moment, the messenger tilted his head.

Pout-!

A thin gust of wind passed before his eyes.

and.

dump-.

The lumberjack, who had been walking unsteadily, eventually fell forward.

But it wasn’t that he collapsed because he lost all his strength.

All it took for the lumberjack to fall was an arrow to the back of his head.

‘Hey, where did this come from?!’

When the surprised messenger looks around in confusion.

Knock-!

The little figure quickly moved from tree to tree and landed next to the dead lumberjack.

“Whew… I almost got in trouble with Yuri.”

Arin let out a small sigh of relief and pulled the arrow out of the dead lumberjack’s head.

Arin succeeded in carefully pulling out the arrow without damaging or losing the arrowhead.

Okay-!

She lightly brushed away the blood from the arrow and asked the messenger.

“Who are you, sir?”

“I, I mean?”

The corpse of a lumberjack and blood scattered everywhere.

And the beauty who asked the question without any concern.

The messenger, overwhelmed by the strange scene, was at a loss for words and was at a loss for words.

Meanwhile, Arin tilted her head at the sight of the messenger’s attire.

“Um… Judging from the clothes you’re wearing, you seem to be on our side. Where are you from?”

“I, I am a messenger! I have come to deliver the orders of Master Uli Jikli!”

“messenger?”

Arin, who had been thinking deeply, found the answer in her memories and smiled brightly.

“Aha! That’s the messenger who set out before us!”

This time, the messenger tilted his head at Arin’s soliloquy.

‘Before us?’

What on earth does this mean?

As the messenger tried to figure out what it meant, Arin gestured toward him.

“Follow me!”

“yes?”

“I’ll guide you to our captain!”

“Oh, I see!”

Although she looked much younger than him, the messenger obediently followed her words.

I followed Arin for a while as she walked with light and brisk steps.

Finally, the messenger could no longer bear it any longer and asked a question.

“What… What happened?”

“What is it?”

“What on earth was that lumberjack earlier… … .”

“Oh, that? I used it a few times to set off a signal flare to lure the enemy, and the enemy seemed to notice and didn’t fall for it very often.”

“…yes?”

“So from then on, I just wandered around and hunted, and it seems like the lumberjack from before was lucky enough to survive.”

“Huh?”

The messenger kept blinking because he couldn’t quite follow what the woman in front of him was saying.

Then, with great difficulty, I realized something and was shocked.

“No way… there really was an attack?!”

Just in case, I was actually attacked?!

Arin responded indifferently to such shock.

“Yes, there was.”

“Are you okay? Even now?!”

“Huh? Even now?”

“Well, if we’re still fighting, isn’t it dangerous to wander around like this?”

The messenger, who was walking slowly, as if taking a stroll, suddenly felt uneasy, so he placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and looked around.

At this, Arin lightly waved her hand.

“Hey, it’s okay. It’s already over.”

“Huh? It’s finished?”

“Ah, they’re all here.”

The messenger asked again, but Arin did not answer.

Instead, the messenger could see with his own two eyes.

Here’s how things turned out.

Those who are lying injured and those who care for them.

From those preparing meals to those busily moving things around.

The sight the messenger saw was clearly one that looked like the aftermath of a fierce battle.

The messenger, who was blankly watching this, opened his lips slightly.

‘What is this…?’

Considering that there had been an attack, the number of people receiving treatment was smaller than expected, and there was even a strange sense of vitality in the movements of the people.

And at the center of all that energy was one person.

“Hey, you little punk, how dare you joke around about a scratch? Get up right now!”

“You can see the bones… and it’s just a scratch.”

“When I was younger, if it was a wound like that, I would just put some saliva on it and run away!”

“… I’m at least ten years older than you, Captain.”

“Huh? So you’re going to just lie there and keep lying down? Why, make me lie down forever?”

“Okay, I’ll get up right now.”

“You should have done that a long time ago. Hey! Didn’t I tell you not to pile that up there? How many times did I tell you to set it aside so you can get it whenever you want? Huh?”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

“I told you not to do anything you’d be sorry for in the first place, you fucking idiot! If a kid like you becomes the head of the household, your family will be in shambles. Damn, you’re the kind of kid who’ll ruin the family in less than a year.”

“… … .”

“Huh? Are you squinting? Are you squinting? Are your eyes still tense?”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

A black-haired man who roams between camps, raising his voice.

Every word he said made not only the common warriors but also the children of that arrogant family flinch and tremble.

Even to the messenger who had arrived less than a minute ago, it was clear that the garrison was revolving around him.

The only problem was that the black-haired young man was someone the messenger didn’t know at all.

The person in charge of the rear units he knew was a completely different person.

‘What the heck is going on… … .’

It is certain that there was an attack.

It even seemed like the raid had been successfully overcome.

But who is that young man, and what is the situation now?

While he was looking at me with a questioning look in his eyes.

“Yuriyii!”

As Arin waved her hand, Yuri walked over with her eyebrows narrowed.

“What? Why are you here? What did I tell you to do?”

“I searched hard for the person hiding!”

“Who got out?”

“There hasn’t been one in my area yet!”

“Not yet? Ahhh, not yet?”

“Ooh, okay… I’ll go back quickly… … .”

“So why did you come?”

“…I’m here to bring the messenger.”

“Mr. Messenger?”

Yuri, who at first wondered what he was talking about, soon nodded.

“Ah! Is that the messenger that Aunt Petra sent?”

Yuri, who noticed the man’s identity, waved her hand.

“The situation here is over, so go to the front line right now and tell them.”

“yes?”

“What, yeah yeah. Didn’t you hear? Go back to the front. Go and tell Aunt Petra. We’ve destroyed the rear surprise attack force, so you can handle the rest.”

“… … .”

The messenger was silent at Yuri’s words.

But his sad expression spoke volumes about his feelings.

‘I… just got here?’

I just arrived after running for two full days… Can’t I rest for a bit?

Despite such a barrage of moist gazes, Yuri coldly sent the messenger back.

The messenger, who had arrived after two days, had to turn back the way he had come without even resting.

Meanwhile, Yuri was looking at the back of the messenger moving away with a faint smile on her face.

‘So, how should I move now?’
